Scientists plan to melt moondust to make lunar roads. Astronauts may have to do more moon-driving than moon-walking during future missions.

If we want space missions to be successful, we need to build Moon roads. Scientists plan to use lasers and moondust - here's how.

Someone tell the c/FuckCars people, this'll really piss them off lol
88Shiiiiit. Moon trains anybody?
31I’ll take the moon subway
10Moonorail?

My first thought when reading the headline was how pissed is the fuckcars movement gonna be when they find your carbrains are building roads on the moon lol
22Cars are great, if there are few. Can't have everyone in one when you live densely.
6So Michael Jackson is outdated now. :-)
5Those damn murder machines keep ruining all that perfectly good moon cheese. They should simply walk the 13 miles to the mission location instead.
4Lol, those people are worse than preachy vegans and Linux supremecists combined. They're one of the few communities I've blocked completely.

Talk to Cave Johnson about the dangers of ground up moon rocks…
28Should the headline be “discovered” instead of “plan”? Plan makes it sound like this is in work despite discovering how to do that so recently.
15Semantics are secondary to capturing attention with headlines. And it's still just a minor summary of the whole story.
To elaborate, some dudes discovered a way to melt moon rocks to make asphalt. More dudes plan to make moon roads with it.

Cruising in an old chrysler with Frank Sinatra on speakers. Fly me to the moon.

7While the moon has basically no atmosphere, I don't think it would matter much. Plenty of lunar dust would get blown around by the force of the engines, and the mass or that dust would contribute. Beyond that, the exhaust itself has a lot of force, and is probably plenty.

Look at the Apollo missions taking off, it's quite violent for the surround area.

Almost no atmosphere on the moon.

I keep hearing about going to the moon building this and that but when was last time man set foot there? Just do it already.
4Not much point sending people there without any real purpose. Much cheaper and safer to send probes to gather whatever scientific data we need.

There's one thing they seem to be forgetting.
How the fuck are they gonna send that many people to warrant the road-building? I mean, they could, but would definitely break their banks.
4Honestly the number of people required to send is zero, because they're for vehicles and it isn't a strict requirement that they have humans in them.
As long as there is "stuff" that needs transporting, you'll want vehicles, and if you want vehicles you probably want roads.

And what's going to protect the lens from the lunar dust?
They might need a diamond lens or something.
3Just put the laser high enough above the ground, like in orbit, and nothing will ever reach the lens.

I saw a report recently about a 3D printing company that plans to use moon dust for concrete to build housing.
